FORI' HOOD (AP) — Fort Hood will trim 628 employees from its pay roll to meet with f ederal budget cuts, which will reduce the post’s civilian work force by about 20 percent, offi- ials say. Army officials said they will make efforts to place employees in other defense-related jobs and will encour age early retirement w'here possible. They also predicted that attrition would reduce the force by 30 to 40 jobs per month until the May 1 deadline. We realize that we’re talking about living, breathing human be ings depending on jobs,” garrison commander Col. Clyde Glosson said. ‘This was not an easy decision to make. “The command will protect train ing events such as the National Training Center rotations and gun neries conducted hy battalions and brigades.” An official of the Texas Employ ment Commission’s Killeen office mtnnsaid the impending layoffs would ist fofloverload the area work force and his office, which already handles about 600 claims a month. “Wow, that’s going to be tough,” claims supervisor Phillip Racicot said when told of the news. “Federal claims are much more time-consuming than regular claims, but we’ll find a way to handle them,” he said. Federal claims from Fori Hood unemployment, including those by retired personnel seeking employ ment, comprise half of the Killeen office’s work load, Racicot said. “Our economy w'ould have a hard time absorbing that amount of peo ple right away into the work force,” Racicot said, adding that it would be the largest Fort Hood layoff since he joined the TEC Killeen office 14 years ago. Jobless Fort Hood workers will find very few similar jobs in the civil ian community offering as much money, he said. That’s going to put a crimp in their ability to find work,” Racicot said. Texans By Mary-Lynne Rice Staff Writer Hundreds of Bryan-College Station residents have the chance to claim their share of the more than $60 million in lost or forgot ten accounts that rests in the Texas State Treasury. About 75,000 Texans are named in the Treasury’s annual Unclaimed Money Fund List, each of whom has dormant checking or savings accounts, util ity or safe-deposit box deposit re funds, oil royalties or corporate stock dividends of at least $50. Beginning Sunday from noon to 5 p.m., the Treasury will open a toll-free phone line (1-800-321- can reclaim share of lost money Graphic by Susan C. Akin 2274) to give moneyholders in formation on how to collect their unclaimed funds. The line will be open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Although those credited with unclaimed money may be eager to get it hack after seeing their names on the list, they need not worry about losing the money if they do not act quickly, said Bill Cryer of the Texas Treasury Pub lic Information Office. After three years of an ac count’s inactivity, the funds are turned over to the Treasury, which divides the money equally for general state expenditures and federal school programs. Yet at any time, the account holder or his heirs may collect the money. “If a person fails to collect his money and after three years the account is completely inactive, it is turned over to the state,” Cryer said. “People think they have to claim the money quickly or it will be spent. But it’s in the Treasury forever. It will be there even 100 years from now, and they can al ways claim it.” Tens of thousands of calls to the information hotline are ex pected in the first weeks of the money reclamation effort, he said, and many callers will get nothing but a busy signal. “A lot of people will get frus trated with us when they call and it’s busy,” Cryer said. “We’re asking them to be a little patient with us. We have no interest in confiscating their money.” Once a caller reaches the Trea sury, an operator will check his name and account. In many cases, Cryer said, all that will be necessary to reclaim money is to go to the bank or the company that holds the lost account. If the money has been turned over to the Treasury, however, “it’s still a simple process,” he said. Callers will be mailed a one- page claim form, to be signed, no tarized and returned with proof of identification. A check for the total of the account will be issued by the Treasury usually within four to six weeks, Cryer said. A claim form may also he re quested by mail, at P.O. Box 12608, Capitol Station, Austin, 7871 1. The following people, businesses and organizations have cash in the Texas Treasury Unclaimed Money Fund. For information on how to col lect property, call the State Treasury on or after Sunday at 1-800-321-2274, or write to the treasury at P.O. Box 12608, Capitol Station, Austin, 78711. The line will be open Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. and Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Callers should give their names exactly as listed, with their address and Social Security number.
